2008 – 2012 Chevrolet EXPRESS 2500 Body Control Module (BCM) 15828601 – Programmed to Your VIN
Imagine you’re loading up your 2008-2012 Chevrolet Express 2500 for a long haul, only to find the doors won’t lock, interior lights flicker erratically, or the engine refuses to start due to a security glitch. These frustrating symptoms often point to a faulty Body Control Module, disrupting everything from power windows to anti-theft systems. Our pre-programmed BCM, part number 15828601, arrives ready for your van, flashed with the latest GM software using your VIN for seamless integration. It matches a wide array of interchangeable numbers like 10382479, 15093910, and more, ensuring compatibility across various GM models. This isn’t just a replacement—it’s a reliable fix that restores full electrical harmony, preventing costly downtime and enhancing daily reliability for work vans facing heavy use.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Owners of 2008-2012 Chevrolet Express 2500 vans frequently report problems like erratic door locks or windows that fail to respond, often triggered by a degraded BCM exposed to moisture or electrical surges. For instance, if you’re dealing with a no-start condition accompanied by a flashing security light, it could stem from communication failures, throwing DTCs such as U0140 (lost communication with BCM) or B1370 (ignition circuit issues). This module resolves that by re-establishing stable connections across the vehicle’s network, drawing from real-world cases where water intrusion corrupted the original unit during rainy deliveries.
Another common headache is flickering headlights or taillights, especially when towing heavy loads, which might link to voltage irregularities. Replacing with our VIN-programmed BCM clears these by optimizing power distribution, as seen in scenarios where mechanics traced faults back to outdated software. Think about intermittent wiper failures during storms—our updated module incorporates fixes that prevent such disruptions, improving safety on the road. Additionally, if you’re seeing DTC B2955 (security system sensor data invalid), this part recalibrates the sensors effectively. Through years of diagnostics, I’ve found that addressing these early avoids cascading failures, like battery drain from constant module resets, ultimately saving on repairs.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN immediately after purchase so we can program the BCM with exact matches to your Express 2500’s specs.
- Disconnect the battery to ensure safety and prevent electrical shorts during the swap.
- Locate the BCM in the center dash area—remove surrounding panels carefully to access it.
- Unplug the old module, connect the new one, and secure it in place, double-checking all connectors for firm seating.
- Reconnect the battery and perform a theft deterrent relearn if a no-start occurs: Insert the key, turn to ON for 10 minutes (security light should go off), then off for 5 seconds—repeat up to three times.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and accessories to confirm everything operates smoothly.
